Israel Folau wants out... I'll show him the door.

there are hints on the forum as to what he might be doing........ Game on detectives.
 
You mean Coxy's status.

The same status which claimed we were signing Greg Inglis.

You guys should just come out and tell us what you know!

I'll wait till it has been officially announced before i believe it

Maybe he realized he couldn't play State of Origin if he went to another code.

Maybe he realised that in a couple of years time the salary cap in the NRL will be much bigger and we'll be able to pay him a lot more [icon_wink
 
Maybe.

But, in all honesty the NRL need to pay the representative players more. Rugby League isn't my favourite spot, cricket is. But there is no cricket game I get as fired up for as the State of Origin. The fans love it. Suncorp gets sold out in an hour and even in Sydney they get well over 50000. It really needs to be sold as the reason for players to stay in the code, especially our marquee players who are the ones who are targeted.
 
I definitely hope he stays, but can't blame him for hesitating when looking at that much more money... eusa_think

Let's be happy soccer is not a sport where RL skills are apreciated.
Just read that players from a economically fragile country such as Portugal will earn about $500,000.00 each if they win the World Cup! [icon_ee

Yeah, that doesn't really have much to do with Portugal's economy though. At least, I'm pretty sure it doesn't.

It'll come in the form of prize money, sponsorships/endorsements, etc. Portugal won't win anyway. [icon_wink

Portugal is a 2nd grade country as far as "soccer economics" go. I'm scared to think how much the likes of Italy, Germany, Spain or England pay...
It was just a marginal remark anyway regarding Folau's possible salary demands.

P.S. They might win though, they have the players to do it, but need a bit (a lot actually) of Qld mentality! [icon_pray.
 
Israel Folau turns down rugby union offer
THE race for Israel Folau's signature has become a battle between two football codes after the NRL superstar today turned down a massive offer to turn to rugby union.

Folau had been the centre of a three-way tug of way for his services next year with the 21-year-old fielding mega-dollar deals from the Melbourne Rebels, which will join an expanded Super rugby competition as its 15th team next year, and AFL's Greater Western Sydney. His NRL club Brisbane had also recently countered with an improved offer to keep him in rugby league
